You should install the patch to enable advanced font control for side loaded truetype fonts. It works very well to up the weight.
What is the patch?

And Kindle won't let you install your own fonts, anyway.
The Kindle will use fonts embedded in a book, though.

The first link is to the patches for the latest firmware. The second link is to the explanation of the patches (see the 3rd post).

Sure you can.

The difference is that on the Kindle you need to jailbreak first.

The original Andika could be found everywhere. I wonder, what the difference beteen the original and the e-ink version might be...

It's a nice font, but it has only one cut. (As i can see, supporting e-books was not the primary goal of the font-maker). Some italics are neccessary and bold and small-caps won't hurt.

@kyteflyer: try Vollkorn, it should offer any weight, you wish
Thanks Mmat, I will do that.

[edit] Though having just now installed the Andika font... I really like it, good weight, easy on my elderly eyes. Might even read more on the Kobo now.

Thank you Nate.

I tested this font on my Kobo Glo, and found it satisfactory. I am happy to see that there are other people too, who like to use sans serif fonts on their EInk devices. I incidentally like to use another sans serif font 'Exo' on my reader occasionally for a change, which is also a free font under SIL license. 'Exo' is a full font family, including Thin, Extra Light, Regular, Bold, Semi Bold, Extra Bold and Black styles. I use only Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic on my device however. This font has reasonably good ligature, kerning and line spacing. I am quite happy with its performance on EInk.

As this is under SIL license, I suppose I can post the font here for other members.
It's a beautiful font. Thanks, drjd!!

Thanks for reviving this thread. I downloaded and installed AndikaInk font as well. I don't normally like this kind of font, but this one is nice and dark. Also thanks to Barty for first sharing it.

Any way how we could update Andika Ink to v6.200 (the latest version of Andika)?
